Hehe.. unlike Tesla-ites, I won't claim he is one of the greatest geniuses of all time, but yeah... I think he is a fucking genius.
OF ALL the RNC convention speeches, his was the most direct and focused attack on Obama and his failed policies. Eastwood called him out on everything from Afghanistan to trials terrorists in downtown NYC... to being a limousine liberal... and he made brilliant points, one of the best lines of the convention: We Own This Country!
Eastwood even got shots in on Biden.
"He's like a grin with a body behind it."
I thought he demonstrated his creative brilliance in using an empty chair to symbolize Obama. The added touch of giving the empty chair a teleprompter, shows why Eastwood is an American treasure. Who else could have pulled off such a great public condemnation of Obama and his policies? Today, it is the trending topic on Twitter and other social media, and in that regard, isn't that exactly what an ARTIST is supposed to do? The fact that people are talking about Eastwood's speech, whether it's good or bad, whether you thought he was a bumbling idiot, whether you're like me and thought it was a brilliant performance for an old guy without a script... it made you pay attention to it, it made you discuss it and talk about it... and for ART, that IS the purpose. True?
